rename

Renames multiple files.

• Change foo to bar in matching filenames:

rename {{'s/foo/bar/'}} {{*.txt}}

• Convert to lower case:

rename -c {{*.txt}}

• Replace whitespace with underscores:

rename --nows {{*.txt}} rename 's/\s+/_/g' {{*.txt}}

• No action, just show what renames would occur:

rename -n {{'s/foo/bar/'}} {{*.txt}}
